When you were a kid, do you remember visiting friends’ fancy houses and comparing them to your own? For Dallas, the epitome of a fancy house was one that had an ice maker. If one of his friends had a house that featured one of these, in his eyes, they had really “made it” in life. 

As an adult, Dallas is now contemplating becoming one of these people. Yes, he wants a fridge with an ice maker, because – well, they’re pretty cool. So should he spend the money on it, and when? And is it really worthwhile?

This episode is not about fancy fridges or rich friends – it’s about making thoughtful financial decisions. Dallas and Michael discuss what and when to spend your money on (and when to hold onto it, instead). Spoiler alert: when it comes to your money, financial advisers are not always as frugal as you may think!
